TASK 4 - Audience for thriller

 For our thriller, I thought that the appropriate audience age that would like to watch it would be aged 15-25. The 'tribe' that we wanted our audience to be in would be young adults. 

 

My perfect audience member would be a 18 year old young adult from a middle class family who is mature and educated enough to understand the storyline and keep up with it as it would be quite complex, and be mature enough to deal with some of the themes which feature in our thriller. They would enjoy the idea of having to keep up with the plot and having to work out some of it for themselves. The kind of TV which they would watch would be Revenge, True Blood and other similar shows. The kind of films which they would be interested in would be the Borne series, Salt, Hanna and other similar thrillers which are complex and have similar twists to those which would be included in our thriller. The kind of music which they would listen to would be alternative and chart music, such a Beyonce, Frank Ocean and Noah and the Whale. The age range that we are going for means that they would mostly be at university or just finishing their A levels. They would be studying subjects  such a psychology and sociology, and therefore would be interested people and how they deal/react to different situations. They would be likely to see the film in the cinema with a group of friends or if they were a university student and had less money then they would download it off the internet and watch it on their laptop.

For our secondary audience, which would be over 28’s, who are intelligent and switched on and want to solve problems. They would be have a job as a banker, or a teacher, and would be interested in a lot of things. They would have studied subjects such as history or psychology at university. They may have just finished university and starting a job or already have a job. They would be interested in mystery TV shows such as Broadchurch or Revenge. They would listen to chart music such as Ed Sheeran or Maroon 5.They would be most likely to see the film in the cinema, in the evening after work or on a date. They may be attracted to the romance between the woman and her victims in the film, or the males may be attracted to the violence and blood which features in the film.
